Headaches come in a variety of intensities and forms, ranging from a mild throbbing around your temples to severe pain that can impair your vision.
The truth is that not all headaches are the same. They differ in intensity, symptoms, and underlying causes. Some of the most frequent headache types include tension, cluster, migraine, organic, rebound, and chronic daily headaches, among others.
If you experience any of these headache types, you are far from alone. Millions of people suffer from headaches regularly.
Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are among the most widespread types. They are often linked to stress, anxiety, and sometimes depression. Roughly 90% of all headaches fall into the tension category.
With tension headaches, the discomfort is felt throughout the head rather than localized to areas like the temples or sinuses. Women tend to experience tension headaches more often than men, but anyone can be affected at any time.
Cluster Headaches
Approximately one million people in the U.S. are affected by cluster headaches. These are intense, sharp headaches that usually occur multiple times a day over weeks or months. They may disappear for a similar length of time before returning.
Migraines
Migraines are a distinct category of headaches, considered to be a neurological condition affecting nearly 30 million Americans annually. One in four people in the U.S. suffers from migraines—more than those affected by diabetes, heart disease, and asthma combined.
Common Triggers of Headaches
A frequent cause of headaches is an imbalance somewhere in the body. This imbalance may stem from stress, anxiety, injury, or numerous other factors.
An imbalance in one area can disrupt the entire body’s system. For example, tension in the muscles of the upper back or shoulders can easily lead to headaches and pain in other regions.
Headache Relief Options
Many people treat headaches with over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin. However, these only mask the pain temporarily without addressing the root cause.
Eventually, the underlying issue that triggered your headaches will resurface—and so will the pain.
Fortunately, there’s a natural and holistic treatment that targets the source of your headaches for lasting relief—spinal decompression.
Advantages of Gentle, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy
Our spinal specialists focus on restoring the body’s natural alignment by performing a series of gentle decompressions on the affected spinal areas. Since the spine and its discs form the structural foundation of the body, realigning them gently can quickly and permanently ease headaches and related pain.
